In case you are searching for the elegant designed theme which showcases your work in a potential and professional manner to the outer world, it’s definitely Cassiopeia which will answer your need. Very truly, this theme is all about the elegant professionalism and user friendliness which makes this site very different from the others. The readable typography and the matching iconography are some of the attractive features of this theme, which makes it utterly different from the other themes, which I have gone through till now.

The very moment that the theme is launched as the homepage of your personal site or blog, it tends to reveal your biggest asset, which is your work to the very core of it.

Busy Bee

In case, you need stupendous multimedia content to be uploaded on your site, Busy Bee is one theme which will definitely satisfy all your needs. This theme was designed by Magnus Jepson. I think, this is one of the best themes which can relate to the needs and the expectations of the personal blogs, magazine and news. The entire designing is stylish and its further enhanced with the sexy and flawless drop down menus. These menus are fit for both the category and page navigation.

I also think that the integrated theme options of the busy bee also aid in tweaking the layout and also with the colour scheme. At the same time, the templates which are there for the custom pages are also incorporated with the image galleries, archives and sitemaps.

Theme Features:

• Sexy drop down menu’s for both the page & category navigation

• 13 amazing colour schemes to choose from!
• Integrated Banner Management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice site-wide.

At the same time, the addition of the built in gravatar is also very useful for the supporting of the comments which can be made by the viewers.

Thus, this theme is also meant for every feature which you believe is out of the box and can be impressive enough to attract your audience to the web pages of your personal blog or your site.

Thus, if you want to be up to date, and rock your blog, this theme is what a waits your scrutiny.

The New Yorker

Just like the very name, the New Yorker tends to be one of the most needed and craved newspaper themes to start with. The entire aligning, layout and designing of this theme is purely in the very professional manner which tends to be very sophisticated. At the same time, for all those rookies who are marking their initial advent in the print media, this theme tends to be very rewarding. I feel that it confers a lot of knowledge along with the proper method of editing and coordinating one’s news, in terms of both space and words, for better recognition and attention.

This theme also incorporated the best of images and pictures so that the entire column wise division does not give a much cluttered look to the newspaper. With the usage of blue and black colours, the theme tends to be very catchy and has a professional look. The entire manner in which the articles are managed and arranged in this theme tends to be very educative for the editors. This theme has been released on October 2008.

Theme Features:

At the same time one very delighting feature of this site is that, irrespective of the number of the images that this site has, it won’t be difficult to download it.

Sonar Tech

SonarTech is definitely focussed for introducing the sophisticated and professional version of the business content management theme. This theme is launched specifically for the corporate and business sector. One of the reasons to choose this theme is because it’s new, recently launched and takes into consideration, more necessities and demands of the business fraternities. So, whether one wants to establish their name if the business world or just crave to further revamp their entire site and make it more attractive, this theme is definitely the very best.

Some of the other themes which are provided by SonarTech are blogging themes, content management themes, corporate and business themes, newspaper and magazine themes and multimedia and specialist themes. Right from designing to layout, this theme tends to be

FlashFrame

FlashFrame is a photo gallery WordPress theme designed by ShutterThemes. Featured prominently on the homepage is rotating fading images feature which can be managed from within the settings of the theme. FlashFrame comes in two colours - black and white.

Theme Features:

• Rotating image homepage
• Two color options - black and white
• Upload images from the WP Dashboard (without using FTP application)
• A special settings page for managing the behavior of the theme
• Drop-down navigation menu
• Integrated blog
• Automatic Image Resizing for thumbnails

On first look, the theme looks very simple and clean, coupled with some attractive photos, it is no doubt a very useful and beautiful photo gallery theme. The fading and rotating images effect is achieved with the use of simple Javascript, hence any photographers and photo lovers can use the theme to showcase their creative snaps almost instantly.

There is practically little use for this theme except to serve as a photo gallery with an integrated simple blog for small updates or news. Other web users would find the homepage of this theme a little bare and the theme itself lacking major features but it does what it is meant to do - to showcase beautiful pictures and images and maintain the focus on them and their photographers. Users who wish to set up a photo gallery with advanced features would have to implement many customizations by themselves.

bChurch

bChurch is a premium WordPress church theme designed by James Dalman at iThemes. The bChurch theme is offered exclusively at ChurchTheme.com. It is specially designed for churches large and small, church planters, or church leaders who desire their own ministry website.

bChurch includes great features that will help your church communicate efficiently including social media icons, blogging, and audio or video plug-ins. This church theme is easy to use and maintain with the special bChurch tabbed section and uploading header images is a snap!

Theme Features:

• Featured Content on The Homepage
• Social Networking Buttons
• Custom Image Uploader
• Search Engine Optimized
• Widget-ready Sidebar
• Rotating Headers
• Category Refresh
• Drop-down Navigation Menu

The theme is very well laid out with suitable colour combinations, exuding a mysterious yet calming effects associated with the process of believing. On the homepage there aren’t many links or navigation menus to the older posts. There is also no search bar, making it harder for visitors to search for a specific posts or venture deep into post categories. Granted, the automatic category refresh on the homepage should allow people to read your latest posts rather comfortably. I suppose this theme is more useful as an easily set-up website rather than a frequently updated blog.

Ambience

Ambience is another wonderful personal WordPress theme designed by WooThemes. It is a simple yet elegant theme for bloggers who wish to keep others updated about them and their activities. It has a specially customized lifestreaming widget and prominent Twitter status message across the top of the theme, it is rather hard for visitors to miss your online content and daily activities.

Theme Features:

• 5 different colour schemes and styles
• Integrated custom lifestreaming widget
• Extravagent background graphics and front-end transparencies
• Grid-based design, perfectly suited for a personal blog
• Integrated theme options (for WordPress) to tweak the layout, colour scheme etc. for the theme
• Built-in gravatar support for Authors & Comments
• Integrated banner management script to display randomized banner ads of your choice site-wide
• Widgetized sidebars
• Twitter status message across top of theme

What do I think about this theme?

To be honest, I was not awed by the looks of this theme when I view the screen shots. However, my view begin to change drastically once I see the demo of Ambience in live action. All the 5 different colour schemes, styles, background graphics and transparencies are beautifully designed and laid out, each of them is uniquely distinct from the others and whichever scheme you choose, it will look stunning!

Other features which I think are essential to this theme are the customized lifestreaming widget and Twitter status message on top of the theme. These features make it easy for you to disseminate any information or events which you desire as well as giving visitors a peek into your life, activities and interactions with other people.

I suppose this theme is suitable for all bloggers who would like to get personal and develop an open-relationship with their blog visitors. It is suitable for bloggers who take pride in their work, especially those who are actively participating in social networking sites. Famous bloggers who have several blogs should just use this theme on a domain containing their personal names, this way your followers have a much easier time following you and your activities.
